In the world of aesthetics, every product has a character; some are soft, some are hard. Some just volumize, others structure the skin. Known for its Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) content Crystal Filling, is the “strong” character of aesthetics. Well, this powerful mineral support Who is the Crystal Filler suitable for? Which problem on your face should you choose this technology to solve?
Istanbul Nisantasi Medlook Polyclinic we do not perform rote procedures on every client who walks through the door. While Crystal Filler works miracles in the right patient, it can give undesirable results in the wrong patient (for example, very thin lips). In this guide, we define the “Ideal Crystal Filler Candidate” covering a wide range from young people who want to sharpen their facial features to mature age groups who want to erase the signs of aging on their hands.
Ideal Candidate Profile: Is Crystal Filler For You?
If you see “softening” and “loosening” on your face when you look in the mirror, if you feel that your bone structure is not as prominent as before, you are in the right place. Crystal Filling is basically a “Skeletal Support” procedure. If you have one of the following symptoms, you will get the maximum benefit from this procedure:
1. Those with “Bulldog Cheek” (Jowl) Initiation
Has the lower part of your cheeks started to sag above your jawline? This situation squares the face and makes it look old. Crystal Filler is applied to the corners of the chin (gonial angle) to camouflage this sagging and bring the face back to the “V” form.
2. Those who want to strengthen their profile
If the tip of your nose is low or your chin is behind (retrognathia), your profile looks weak. What is Crystal Filling? As we mentioned in our article, this product gives the closest result to surgery to bring the chin forward and lift the nose with its bone-like hard structure.
3. Aging Hands
No matter how well you take care of your face, your hands give away your age. When the subcutaneous fat tissue melts, the veins and tendons on the back of the hand become prominent. Crystal Filler is the most reliable and effective filler used in hand rejuvenation with FDA approval. It instantly covers the vascular appearance.
Intended Use by Age Groups
The perception that Crystal Filling is “only for the elderly” is wrong. It serves a different architectural purpose at every age:
| Age Group | Core Objective | Application Area |
|---|---|---|
| 20 - 35 Years | Beautification | Creating more attractive, photogenic and sharp lines (e.g. Top Model Cheekbones, Sharp Jawline). |
| 35 - 50 Years | Lifting | First to lift sagging, open nasolabial grooves and erase tired expression. |
| 50+ Age | Volume and Structure | Rebuilding the face and hand rejuvenation by mimicking melting bone tissue. |
Crystal Filler for Men: Masculinization
Erkek estetiğinde “kadınsılaşma” korkusu çok yaygındır. Erkekler dolgun yanak veya yuvarlak hat istemez. İşte bu yüzden Kristal Dolgu, erkekler için 1 numaralı tercihtir. Su tutmadığı için yüzü şişirmez. Çene hattını genişleterek ve elmacık kemiğini keskinleştirerek daha güçlü, maskülen ve otoriter bir ifade sağlar. Medlook’taki erkek hasta portföyümüzün %70’i bu işlemi tercih etmektedir.
Evaluation by Skin Type
Is your skin thin or thick? This question is vital when choosing a filler.
- Thick and Oily Skin: This skin type is heavy and prone to sagging. Soft hyaluronic acid fillers cannot lift this weight. Crystal Filler, on the other hand, can lift up even thick skin thanks to its high “G Prime” (Lifting Force).
- Thin and Dry Skin: Crystal Filler should be used carefully on these skins. If it is done too superficially, it may be visible from the outside. However, when it is applied to the right layer (deep), it thickens the skin and improves its quality thanks to the calcium particles it emits.
Who Cannot Have Crystal Filling? (Contraindications)
Not everyone is suitable for this procedure. For your safety, we refuse the application of Crystal Fillers (Radiesse etc.) in the following cases:
| STATUS | WHY NOT TO DO IT? | ALTERNATIVE |
|---|---|---|
| Pregnancy and Breastfeeding | Ethical and medical safety limits. | The procedure should be postponed. |
| Active Infection | If there are pimples, herpes, etc. in the application area, the infection may spread. | It is done after treatment. |
| Foreign Body Granuloma | There is a risk of reaction in people who have previously had permanent fillers or silicone. | Surgical solution or no intervention at all. |
| Autoimmune Diseases | During the active period, the body may react to the filling. | A doctor's consultation and a remission period are essential. |
Crystal Filler vs. Hyaluronic Acid: Which One Should I Choose?
A simple roadmap for our undecided patients:
- If you want your lips to be full and your under-eyes to brighten: You should choose Hyaluronic Acid. Crystal filling is NOT done in these areas.
- If you want my chin to become more prominent, my face to lift up but not swell: You should choose Crystal Filler (CaHA).
- If you say I am having a filling for the first time, if I don't like it, I can melt it: You should choose Hyaluronic Acid. Crystalline filling cannot be dissolved, it disappears spontaneously over time (12-18 months).
Medlook Approach: Right Patient, Right Dose
For us, the best aesthetics is aesthetics that is “not obvious”. Crystal Filler can make the face look hard and expressionless when exaggerated. That's why we apply the principle of “Step by Step Beauty” at Istanbul Nişantaşı Medlook Polyclinic. We establish the skeleton in the first session and retouch it after 1 month if necessary. Our aim is not to change you, but to bring out your most characteristic look.
